At the end of a long week, it is Friday. You're tired. They can't keep up with the demands of work and life The call of your consoles is too tempting to ignore.
It's true, the human body has its limits but sometimes you have to power past them to game, or to get some non-work work done, or to stay awake at a time when you really need sleep. Energy drinks exist because of that. Coffee is boring but you could drink it. If coffee came from outer space and cyberspace at the same time, it would be called an energy drink. That is quite cool. Don't ask how it works.
Monster is one of the easiest energy drinks to find at both the cleanest and dirtiest corner stores in your neighborhood. You will need help sorting out the wheat from the chaff with more than 30 different flavors. You can find the top Monster cans at the corner store at 11:30 pm.

It's safe to assume that your physical health isn't at the top of the priority list if you're racing to drink energy drinks. Some energy drinks give the illusion of being better for you than others. Monster absolutely zero is one of them.
Absolutely zero has no calories or sugar. The doctor tells you to cut down on those two things, but at least you are avoiding them. I find this flavor to be mild and refreshing when I can find it. It doesn't show up in stores near me but I always grab one when I see it.
Tasting notes: A very sweet flavor that gets in and out.
It makes sense to pair Cool Ranch Doritos with your favorite battle Royale game.
It's difficult to find in my Brooklyn neighborhood.

There are other Monster flavors with no sugar. The bright colored Ultra flavors are all sugar-free and will make up a lot of this list because they are awesome.
Ultra Watermelon is similar to any watermelon drink you have ever had. It has the refreshing sweet taste of a watermelon soda with a hint of energy drink in it. Imagine a small voice in the back of your head telling you that it's probably a bad idea to drink this, and then ignore it.
There is a sweet and bitter watermelon taste.
There is a summer picnic and the most colorful video game you own.
Similar to real watermelons.

The previous two entries on this list offer a soft touch, with flavors that won't make you recoil from their sheer intensity and, instead, settle in over a few seconds.
The Monster UltraViolet is different.
This grape-flavored, sugar-free Monster drink feels like it is hitting you in the face with the taste of grape. Like any other grape-flavored product, its relation to actual grapes is questionable at best, but I like the sour taste of UltraViolet.
It's important to limit yourself to small sips. The kick of the flavor is enough to wake you up.
Tasting notes include a rush of artificial grape flavor that is rude.
There is something masochistic that requires extreme focus.
It's about a 50% chance of being seen at any store.

The difference between Monster Zero Ultra and the top flavor is very small. I had to keep the integrity of the list, but I don't believe in ties.
It tastes really good. I would mostly describe it as a "beverage-like" flavor profile, with just a small amount of sweet citrus taste. It tastes like nothing but it is recognizable as liquid refreshment. Zero Ultra is the best for staying awake without having a sugar crash.
Zero Ultra makes up for its lack of punch with its utility.
Cold refreshment has a little hint of sweet in it's Tasting notes.
It pairs well with bacon, egg, and cheese after a bad night of partying.
The blue in the sky is not uncommon.

Monster is the most popular flavor at convenience stores. It's instantly recognizable in any refrigerator aisle because of the bright green "M" logo. It has 27g of sugar, but that doesn't mean it's bad.
It is possible that it contributes to it's incomparable flavor. If you melted a bunch of sour Jolly Ranchers down and flash-cooled the resulting mess, you would get a surge of liquid energy from original green. It's worth it for new entrants. I don't know what it looks like outside of the can. It is not possible to say yes. I don't know if I trust it with my life. It's absolutely true.
Tasting notes: A ride that makes you want to vomit.
It's that great with any video game.
The corner store's drink aisle is a constant source ofarity.
